Stories behind the headlines

Curiosity has been the main motivation throughout my career. From the start as a local reporter in Zeeland, The Netherlands, to covering the US Presidential Elections. From making film portraits in Russia to diving into Big Agriculture in Canada.

In 2013, I moved to New York City to work as a freelance video journalist for European broadcasters. Over the years, I have created a variety of video series, many of them about Dutch and Flemish immigrants in America.

Currently, I am the producer, cameraman, and editor for the US office of VRT (Belgian National Television), working closely with US Correspondent Thomas De Graeve and previously US Correspondent Björn Soenens.
